[...] I could look at the lovely view to east and south, and unthinking of and uncaring for the dust, composed myself for sleep. - Jonathan Harker's journal, kept in shorthand, May 16.

and then he slept peacefully until morning and nothing upsetting happened to him at all, right?

... right?

the yarn i'm using isn't a true ombre, it's a gradient palette of solids, so i'm cheating a little bit and using row-by-row leapfrogging to get the transitional effect. this works out great, actually, even though strand management is a bit of a bear, because i had to get a second skein pack to make up the yardage and even the most meticulous hand-dye is going to take differently skein to skein - by leapfrogging like that even on the solid sections, i can equalize any tonal differences between the skeinpack AND maintain the row pattern for the transition stripes at the same time!

the castle of otranto skein pack i'm using was created by teatime fibers (also on ravelry!), and i am SO jazzed to be working with it, this yarn is DELICIOUS to handle. the skein pack itself was a little pricey, but you know what, it's dracula season and i deserve a little treat ;3c

✨S K I F T H A T ✨ COMING THURSDAY✨ by: Kelsey Stephens (@primroseyarnco) Our first ever Winter KAL with @loopfiberstudio is quickly approaching, and with it is some super chilly winter weather! We don’t know about you, but we are experiencing a pretty hefty cold front here on the east coast, and that has us wanting to knit ALL the hats! Kelsey designed this hat to be #sizeinclusive (coming in 4 sizes: Baby/Toddler, Kid, Adult Small & Adult Large), perfect for anyone in the family! And trust us, if you haven’t started those holiday gift knits, this hat will have you covered! It is a crazy quick knit that only requires 1 skein of Loop Yin Yang Worsted, and 1 skein of our Homestead Worsted! It also features Kelsey’s favorite rolled brim method (no- there is no provisional cast on needed), to add an extra layer of warmth, and a stable snug fit to the base of the hat. ✨Our Skift Hat Winter KAL will kick off on December 24th and run through January 1st. ✨Kits will be added to the website this Thursday, during our regular shop update at 12 PM EST, the same day the pattern will be dropping on our website and on Ravelry. ✨As always, we will be sending out a newsletter on Thursday to announce the pattern drop and the kit update. Not signed up yet? Head on over to our website and get those emails on our newsletter list. See y’all on Thursday! #primroseyarnco #skifthat #loopfiberstudio #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #knittersoftheworld #hatknitting #hatknittersofinstagram #strandedcolorwork #strandedknitting #strandedcolourwork #strandedcolorworkknitting #winterkal #knitalong #winterknits #winterknitting #knitspiration #knitting_inspiration #knittinginspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cly_trdPQxH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Designer profile

Elizabeth Sullivan is co-owner of Sweet Paprika Designs with her sister Debbie. Their yarns are often the inspiration behind Elizabeth's crochet and knitting designs, and she likes to create patterns which are both fun to make and enjoyable to wear. Size inclusivity is very important to her, and most of her adult garments are sized to fit at least a 30 to 60 inch chest range.

We love the simplicity and beauty of her Khione sweater knitting pattern. The lovely texture pattern at neckline, sleeve cuffs, and bottom hem makes this more than just your average stockinette sweater.

You can see more of Elizabeth's beautifully knitted work at www.fastenoffyal.com/elizabeth-sullivan

Socktober is almost upon is, which means... it’s knitalong time!

On October 5th we’re sharing the pattern for the Party Flag Socks designed by Allison Lutes. We’ll be making ours in Uni Merino. It’s a great choice for this pattern since it also comes in mini-skeins (Uni Merino Mini) that are perfect for small amounts of colorwork like this.

Read more about this KAL here on our blog!

So hi, it's a knit-along! The pattern's on sale, and if you finish a cowl by the end of February, (don't worry, it knits up fast, I promise!) you can enter and have a chance to win prizes!

I run these knit/crochet alongs once a month, so if you aren't a fan of the cowl, there's other patterns coming in March (and old WIP's are always welcome!)

Any questions can be dropped on this post or via the ask!

Friendly reminder that the Monument Hat Knitlong that I host together with the wonderful Ruth of @raincloudandsage is still running till the end of January. 🧶 We have a lovely little chat group here on Instagram where we share our yarn choices and our progress. #monumentHatKAL In the first days of the KAL I knit one in rusty orange that you can see above next to my original sample. Before the knitalong ends I plan to cast on a third one. Feel free to join us! 🤗 #monumentHat #knitalong #knitalongs #herbgardenknitwearHats #herbgardenknitwear #raincloudandsageunspun #unspun #unspunyarn #quickknits #quickknit #chunkyknit #easybeanie #easyhat #quickbeanie #quickhat #hatpattern #beaniepattern #handknits #knittingcommunity #knittingfriends #knittogether #knitting #knitter #knit #knits https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJbw9tIqsZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is dangerous to scroll through the news occasionally. Just picked a new Kal to finish before an annual charity event... I have not yet finished the previous years one, but this was so perfect for a yarn I had in my stockpile.

Measurements, swatches, planning. Not any of your favorite things. 📏 Join me at Adapt a Drop Pullover shoulder and I will help you see the value of each--if not the pleasure--in making garments that fit you. 📆Today is the last day to take advantage of my offer to waive the $5 weekly fee, so jump on it, then get ready to explore fit in a non-fitted garment. I'll be there the whole way.🧶 #sweaterknitting #sweaterknittersofinstagram #knittedpullovers #knitalong #knitweardesigner #fashionknit #passionknit #knitting_inspiration #knittingpullover https://www.instagram.com/p/CdmoTTYroAB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Knit Eco Chic's patterns are engineered with intentional details to create enjoyable and stunning projects. They also have an eco-focus. As a result, she has dozens of lovely designs for you to check out!

It was really hard to pick just one of her designs to show off here, because she consistently creates beautiful garments and accessories. We finally decided on Woodsong Camber, because it's such a unique and handsome hip-length sweater, with its panels of cables and lace travelling diagonally down the body, and matching panels down the sleeves.

You can see much, much more of her work at www.fastenoffyal.com/knit-eco-chic
